Our COVID-19 Prevention Efforts
Updated June 25, At The Rockwood Senior Living, we are committed to helping you stay informed about Coronavirus (COVID-19). Since the virus was first reported, we have been proactively monitoring the situation and working to ensure that we are prepared. Our team is becoming well-versed on the ever-changing guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and understand what protocols to follow at our community.
We will remain proactive and are committed to ensuring the health and safety of our residents and associates. Measures in place at The Rockwood community include:
Ongoing, relevant, up-to-date communications to Residents, Families, Visitors, Vendors and Staff
Daily check in of the health of residents, visitors and staff
Locked all entrance/exit doors of foot traffic except for the Main Entrance and emergency exit doors.
Restricting community entry by any non-essential individual(s). During this crisis, we are only allowing into the building Immediate Family, Caregivers, and Michael to come for Tuesday exercise class only. All entertainers and events (ie. Memory Boost) in and out of the community are suspended until further notice.
All visitors must sign an affidavit at the concierge desk upon entry that states they do not have the Corona Virus or any other illness at this present moment. (Coughing, fever, respiratory issues, etc.) They also attest that they have not been, nor have been in contact with, anyone from out of state or country in the last month. Otherwise, their entrance into our community will be rejected.
The Rockwood entertainment out-trips will be cancelled until this COVID-19 crisis clears. Doctors’ visits will remain a priority on Mondays. All grocery trips will now be scheduled on Fridays only. The departure time will be 8:00 a.m. to lessen the exposure to the general public. We will be alternating between Walmart and Schnucks only, every other week. Flyers will be posted, as well as signup sheets.
Daily disinfecting of high-touch and high-traffic areas throughout the community. Housekeeping will continue its current scheduling. If changes are necessary, we will inform the Residents.
Rockwood Dining program is not changing at this point in time. It is your decision to come to dinner in the dining room. We also offer delivery if you choose to not attend dining service. Please notify the concierge no later than 1:00 pm if you are choosing meal delivery. The dining services will not shut down unless otherwise ordered by state or federal ordinance.
At The Rockwood, we remain focused on prevention and protection, maintaining the safest environment for our residents, visitors and staff. We have signage posted throughout our communities reminding everyone of the simple steps that can be taken to protect themselves and limit the spread of germs and have posted entry requirements at key locations. Our number one priority is and will always be the health and well-being of our residents, their families, and staff.
